    Attentive service, vast array of solidly authentic choices, excellent and generous meal - the salmon with lobster risotto was outstanding!Other than a large table of loud diners, we had a truly enjoyable and satisfying dining experience.

    This restaurant consistently delivers an exceptional dining experience. It is fine dining without the stuffiness of fine dining. The food is always outstanding, and the service is attentive and professional. Their creative specials add a unique flair to the menu, and as a BYOB establishment, it’s even more appealing. During our visit, I started with the Caesar salad, which was beautifully presented in a crispy, edible bread bowl—both visually impressive and absolutely delicious. I get this every time we dine here. We enjoyed the grilled calamari over arugula as a starter. Our entrees were rigatoni with a hearty red sauce with oxtail and my husband had the large rigatoni with pancetta in a robust red sauce. Each dish was expertly prepared and full of flavor. While we’ve always loved dining here, this visit felt slightly rushed. Only one minute after opening of wine, we were asked if we were ready to order. Despite that, we were able to pace our meal and still enjoy the experience. This remains a favorite spot of ours.

    Generally good food and service. However, the kitchen cannot cook a steak. Ordered medium rare, came out cooked through the first time and then rare with cold center the second time. Mgr did the right thing and adjusted the check, but save yourself the trouble!

    Dining at Imperatore was an overall mediocre experience (food and service). It was not bad, but I’m also not rushing back.

    A very delicious dinner! Especially the sacchetti. Yummy pockets of ricotta and pears in a sauce with scallops.
